Lead Teaching Assistant - "Reading to Write"
As a Lead Teaching Assistant for the University of Toronto’s Reading to Write initiative, I work with course instructors to integrate teaching critical reading skills into the course syllabus. To that end, I use assigned course readings as a springboard for designing scaffolded assignments and tutorial activities. My duties as a Lead TA also involve facilitating training sessions for course TAs in which methods of instruction, grading and feedback are discussed.
